Navekat or Nevkat [1] was an ancient Silk Road city that flourished between the 6th and 12th centuries. It lies near the modern village of Krasnaya Rechka, in the Chüy Valley, present-day Kyrgyzstan, about 30 kilometers east of Bishkek. It was one of the most important trading centres of the region.[2] Navekat was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014[3] as a part of the site "Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor".
